What it means	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.	Combined organic + fair-trade + social-responsibility certification. Issued by Ecocert (originally developed by IMOswiss). Stricter than baseline Fairtrade on labour conditions; often paired with an organic mark on the same product.	France's national organic mark, owned by the Ministry of Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on virtually all French organic packaging.	Argentina's national organic mark under SENASA (National Food Safety and Quality Service). Implemented as a label in December 2012 under Law 25.127 (1999).

Fair pricing for producers. Compliance with ILO core conventions on labour rights, no forced or child labour. Environmental criteria including organic-or-equivalent farming practices. Annual on-site audit by Ecocert.	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited French certifiers (Ecocert, Bureau Veritas, Qualité-France).	Compliance with Argentine Law 25.127. Annual on-site inspection by SENASA-accredited certifier. Recognised as equivalent to EU + USDA organic under bilateral agreements.
Does NOT	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.	Doesn't itself mean organic — pair with an organic mark for the full picture.	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.
